SATI Dynamic is an innovative method of specific physical, emotional, spiritual movement sequences, and exercises that are designed to flow together in order to excite awareness, perception, and imagination. The different modules that compose the method aim not only to stimulate conditional and coordinative movements by exploring the relationships among joints, muscles, and postural alignments through active observation and conscious breathing, but most importantly they offer an ongoing research and an acquisition of knowledge on your physical, emotional, mental, and relational aspects.

The method is built around the principles of Ashtanga and Raja yoga, active observation, functional and core training, bio-energetics, music therapy, color therapy, and meditation. Compared to the practices to which it is inspired, it differs in the intention to contextualize them in the present moment and culture.

The main objectives of the SATI Dynamic method are to increase awareness and sensibility, expand the range of motion while reducing energy consumption, connecting with each one’s actual abilities and potential through an experiential and emotional path, coupled with static and dynamic meditation. The benefits are reflected in your improved posture and how you move, feel, breathe, sleep, and live.

Evi Choutou was born in Athens, lived in Rome for almost 20 years, and is currently working in both cities. She has been spending most of her life practicing sports and living in the fitness and wellness world, studying, and examining all the disciplines that can serve any useful purpose in improving life quality.

"It was an intense weekend both physically and emotionally. The schedule was perfectly balanced according to everybody's condition and the wellbeing effect at the end of the retreat was the proof! The location was uniquely beautiful and has contributed to make those days even more fun and relaxing at the same time. Evi was really intuitive on our characteristics and could mix them in such an original way: it's not easy to lead a group of people who hardly know each other and make them feel like a team in such a short time, but she did it!"

"I had a tough time with all those dynamic exercises as I am not at a 100% energy level, but when home I felt transformed in a positive way. We learned that we can do more than we think :-)"

"I liked quite everything, but I definitively liked more the evening classes. SATI Dynamic method is tough, dynamic, mind-based, but also time for fun. It helps a lot to get more motivated, fit dynamic and to be in its own power and trust we can do whatever we wish to do. "

"Location is a bit difficult, if you don't have a car but it's worth it!"

"The “day after” physically i feel something between very tired (but maybe also because of the long travel-day home) and also full of energy and power to do whatever I wish to do. Mentally, Lots more motivation, strength, power. Feel like some blockages were gone. Emotionally Also much better. Thank you Evi for having made it such a special time."

"Unique experience... When I arrived I wanted to go home the same day, I'm not used in sharing rooms and bathrooms and it was hard for me, but I remained and that's why I would recommend it as an important experience and occasion to explore sides of oneself. The island is beautiful, the practices challenging but very different and intense in every way. Amazing experience! I would pay more money to have a private room and bathroom."

"The place was amazing, the house beautiful, the food also. The SATI Dynamic method is the most complete among all the yoga styles and functional workouts I have ever tried (and I have tried almost everthing). It was very interesting the interaction with people I didn't know, all the new connection, what I could discover about myself... It was my second retreat with Evi and she always gives me more than I pay for! I could never thank you enough!"

"Sati Dynamic is energy, breathing control, focus on myself. The retreat was a significant experience: we put together in a few days physical practices and workouts and meditations in a beautiful and silent location, far from the city chaos, in the middle of nature where we could appreciate completely our walks and hikes. I wouldn't have changed any of the practices, that - although intense - left us enough time to relax and get to know better our travelling partners."

"The retreat has been an experience of sharing but also a way to dedicate time to myself and go deeper. The SATI Dynamic yoga practices teach me how to face myself without fear, they teach me to breathe, to release, to express and to also have fun! I'm joining the summer retreat in Greece as well!"

"SATI Dynamic practices manage to resolve 70% of my physical problems and 50% of my mental and emotional ones. The retreats are my first choice vacation, a way out of my busy routine. They give me the energy and the motivation to go back stronger and healthier. I have participated in most of Evi's Retreats and of course I'm going in Greece and in Tuscany again!"

"I was lucky to participate in three SATI Dynamic retreats already. A very positive experience! Each time a retreat is over I feel reborn, regenerated and in peace with the world (although I am not an "easy person" . I had the chance to practice different classes twice a day, I "felt" the energy of my chakras, I learned the 5 Tibetan rites routine, I could meet new people with different ways of thinking and completely different lives to enrich mine. A life-changing, transfromational experience! Thank you Evi."

"That was much more than a retreat! Amazing sunset in Cape Sounio, deep cultural sensations in the ancient Acropolis, restoring relaxation in the beaches around Athens and the best yoga practices and meditations held by a really inspirational teacher. I went back home with a unique sensation in my heart! Can't wait for our next retreat with Evi! "

Plus I fell in love with the city and can't wait to visit it again more thoroughly! Evi is a great teacher, that leads us through functional training and her unique yoga to an introspective state of mind that we take it back home! "

"Evi is a revelation for us! Her SATI Dynamic method includes dynamic yoga practices, functional workouts, active and dancing meditations and partner games that makes us connect in a deeper way to our friends, family and partners! Every workshop and seminal she plans is different and unique! We went to her retreat in Athens last year and it was a cultural yoga vacation where we had the possibility to practice under the blue sky of Attica in locations only she could have taken us. We participated at her retreat in Tuscany on December and it was a totally different experience: fantastic place inside the natural park, great food and a more introspective program. Somehow she manages to plan what we need for every season of the year! We are totally joining the following Spring and Summer retreats!"

"I am not a Yoga person myself, (or at least I thought so) but my friend Claudia insisted I should join a class of her instructor Evi Choutou, that was not the usual yoga class, it was "something different" as she said... I did! And that 2 hours class was enough to convince me to join Evi's retreat last December in the beautiful Roccone farmhouse, in Tuscany! It was a revelation for me! I breathed, I practiced yoga, I played, I sang, I danced, I hiked, I slept, I ate great local food, I met nice and fun people and I went back home after two days reborn! I gained inputs for a healthier lifestyle! There's no need to tell you that I'm joining her next retreat and my sister and boyfriend are coming with me!"

"I had just come back from a yoga retreat in India, which, of course was a unique experience, and my friend Silvia talked to me about a different yoga retreat her teacher had planned in Tuscany. After India, my expectations where high! But when someone like Evi offers her experience and professionalism in such a pure, honest and generous way the energy created opens the door to a truth I have to admit: you don't need an Indian Guru to find a way to yourself. You have to be lucky to meet authentic people with passion for what they want to transmit to guide you when you have doubts. Evi is one of them. The Winter Retreat in Tuscany was introspective and fun at the same time, Tuscany is always amazing, the food was fantastic and the hospitality of Renato in the Agriturismo Roccone makes you want to go back: and in fact I'm joining either the Spring Retreat at the same place!"

"Evi is an inspirational teacher in every way. Her truth comes out in all she does and what she plans for her students comes directly from the heart! Her classes and retreats are restoring for me, they became my medicine, my source of power to face my everyday life routine in the best way! The venues she chooses every time are highly energetic locations, the food is delicious (and I always loose weight!) the program she schedules is rich and complete with different practices (we do yoga in the most different of ways, we meditate through dancing, singing, playing...)"
